Geomorphology

Geomorphology is a branch of geography and earth science that focuses on the study of landforms, their origin, development, and the processes that shape the Earth's surface. It examines the interactions between geological, hydrological, biological, and atmospheric factors that influence the formation and modification of landforms. The field of geomorphology encompasses a wide range of landforms, including mountains, valleys, rivers, glaciers, deserts, coastlines, and more. Geomorphologists investigate the processes that shape these landforms, such as erosion, weathering, deposition, tectonic activity, and human impacts. They also analyze the spatial patterns, distribution, and evolution of landforms over various timescales. Geomorphologists use a combination of field observations, laboratory experiments, and numerical modeling techniques to understand the dynamic processes that drive landscape changes. They often collaborate with other scientific disciplines, such as geology, hydro...
